Punavuori R

The apartment in a 1900s Jugend style apartment building underwent a basic renovation as the whole apartment buildings plumbing was renovated. Suspended ceilings and plastic carpets from the 1970’s were removed and the floor plan was modified by removing unnecessary corridors. All the fixed furniture were designed expressly for this home, including a modular sofa by the living room window, stools that can be converted into guest beds, and a wooden kitchen sideboard and dining table as well as all the other furniture.
